Melrose in Harwich Port

Melrose in Harwich Port sits in the heart of Harwich Port and offers a quiet, 55+ community with 29 condominium units built in 1996, close to the beach at the end of Bay View Road, just about 0.4 miles from Bank Street Beach, and also near shops, restaurants, the marina, golf courses, the Post Office, and a CVS, so you're close to a lot of things without being right in the middle of any hustle and bustle, and the property includes a spacious, single-story layout with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with each bedroom on separate sides for privacy, and a bonus office or craft room that gives extra space for work or hobbies. You'll find large closets, an updated tiled shower in the primary suite, a washer and dryer stacked in the hall closet for laundry, carpeting and vinyl underfoot, and a living/dining area that opens with sliders onto a private deck that gets morning sun and overlooks a quiet courtyard, which is nice for enjoying a bit of peace with your coffee. What folks seem to like is the heat and central AC, the electricity, trash, water, basic cable TV and internet, lawn care, and snow removal-those are all rolled into the monthly fees, and the same fee also covers things like reserve funds, emergency response service, and repair or replacement of appliances, so a lot of the little worries are taken care of. There's an attached structure with no fireplace but there's an interior basement entry for extra storage and peace of mind, plus a no-private pool policy. The building also offers elevator access, tennis, an exercise room, a recreation room, and a library with a fireplace and a big TV. Common spaces encourage social time and there's a solarium, a game room, communal dining area, a deck, and gardens. There's professional on-site management, a handyman for repairs, and on-site concierge services, so staff handles a lot of the small jobs, plus housekeeping of communal areas and security. Melrose in Harwich Port allows a cat or a small dog-either one dog or one cat, 35 pounds or less. There are indoor common rooms for socializing, off-site devotional programming, and a steady calendar of activities, and you'll find the building's second-floor units have plantation shutters, maple cabinets and white counters in the kitchen, and double closets in each bedroom. Melrose offers several care levels, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing, so folks can age in place and get help if their needs change, with services like ambulatory and diabetic care.
